Designing an Effective and Innovative Interdisciplinary Course

Wednesday, May 14, 2014 at 5:30pm
to 9:30pm

The purpose of the workshop is to help participants establish a road map for getting from the germ of a good idea for an interdisciplinary course to an actual effective and innovative course. Participants will start by setting goals for students - what students should be able to do at the end of a course. Having set specific goals for students, participants will then work through how to use those goals to choose content effectively to build an innovative course, as well as begin to outline inquiry-based assignments and activities that can help students make progress toward the goals and provide a means for the instructor to assess that progress.

This workshop will be held in two parts: Wednesday night 5:30pm – 9:30pm (including dinner) and Thursday, 9:00am – 12:30pm.

Participation in this workshop is limited to registered participants only. All registered participants are required to attend the entire workshop.
